  Hello !
  Suppose, if someone asks me to build a website for them with multiple number of individual webpages with individual webpage names (like say , a.html, b.html, c.html and so on), is it possible to do that in wordpress. (we dont want a blogspot kind of a thing having a single webpage containing all the info but multiple number of webpages with different webpage names, <titles>, <meta> tags etc.). Is that possible in wordpress or should i switch to something else ?

  No, that is not possible with wordpress.COM. WordPress and wordpress themes are PHP script based, there are no HTML files. All HTML is built on the fly by the PHP scripts and then sent to the browsers.

  Even with a self-hosted blog using the wordpress software from wordpress.ORG, it requires a lot of knowledge to have multiple posting pages, and I’ve never found anything in all my searches to make that happen with wordpress.

  What most people who use wordpress do when they want to separate postings into sections is to use categories and then assign posts to the appropriate categories. You can then if you wish, create a static front page with links to the individual categories (sections) and when those are clicked on, they bring up only the posts assigned to that category.

  From all that I have read, search engines are placing very little emphasis on meta keywords or tags due to the fact that there has been so much abuse of that feature. What is best is if you tag posts with appropriate tags, and don’t use too many or again, the search engines will get suspicious and your pagerank will suffer. I’ve seen posts with more tags than they have words in the body of the post.
